AI-Rad Companion Prostate MR

Siemens Healthineers

AI-Rad Companion Prostate MR aims to aid the MR/US fusion for biopsy workflow by automatically segmenting the prostate and performing volumetry of the prostate gland. The segmentation of the prostate gland is automatically detected and displayed as contour for the radiologist. The volume of the segmentation gland is automatically computed and provided for inclusion in the final report. The results can be exported as a RTSS object which is then used in TRUS-guided biopsy by the urologist.
